Abstract
Oxidative stressand glia-associated chronic inflammation have been linked to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. Rhei rhizoma has been commonly used as a purgative and a haemostatic agent in traditional oriental medicine. Recently, the methanol extract from a dried root of Rheum undulatumhas been shown to have anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we tested the potential of the extract of Rheum undulatum for neuroprotective agent. The aqueous extract of Rheum undulatum reduced cell death and p53 phosphorylation in neuronal cells and attenuated levels of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNAs in BV2 microglial cells treated with $amyloid-\beta$
